When
I listen you
make the promise to people
I just listened you
promising you'll give people access to something which will become
their (quote unquote)
naturalSelf-expression.
Wow! In my
world,
when you promise you'll give people access to anything which will
become their
"naturalSelf-expression",
in a
word
you're promising you'll
transform
their lives, yes? - or, spoken with
rigor,
you're promising you'll give them the
tools
ie you're promising you'll give them the implements
(both the
language
implements as well as the experiential implements ie the
ontological implements) with which they can
transform
their own lives.

It's worth taking time out for a moment to consider the scope and
breadth of this audacious claim ie of this
extraordinary
promise, of this astonishing
linguistic act.

Given the
ordinary
course of events in life, given the way life creeps on and on at the
same brain-numbingly petty pace (as
William Shakespeare
may have said), a promise like this clearly doesn't occur within the
realm of
business as usual.
We're obviously
not in Kansas anymore,
Dorothy.
And when you're implying that your promise will be delivered in a few
days or less, you've got me broken out of my reverie. You've got me
sitting bolt upright now. You've got me paying rapt
attention.

When we human beings attend courses, we can be taught to understand
things. We can also be taught what it takes to do things.
For example, we can attend courses on
painting
and on
writing
and even on
leading.
We can be taught to understand what it takes to
paint
and to
write
and to
lead.
We can be taught what a
painter
does and what a
writer
does and what a
leader
does. The thing is that understanding what it takes to
paint
and to
write
and to
lead,
and knowing what a
painter
does and what a
writer
does and what a
leader
does, doesn't make me be a
painter
or be a
writer
or
be a leader.

This is what makes your promise that I'll be
being a
leader
and exercising
leadership"as (my)
naturalSelf-expression"
all the more remarkable, all the more outrageous, all the more
"Wow!".
